Savage Attack (Italian: Brothers in Blood) is a war film directed by Tonino Valerii.
[3] This led to smaller Italian producers making films that imitated English pictures for less demanding markets such as Central America and the home video audience.
[3][4] Brothers in Blood starred Bo Svenson, who had been a re-occurring actor in Italian cinema since the mid-to-late 1970s.
Castellari was less interested and was committed to other projects, leading to the producer asking Tonino Valerii to direct the film.
